Thought I'd use this to put my one pet peeve with tourney guys. Nothing is worse than showing up to a 50 acre electric only lake to see 15 guys with $40,000 boats and 250hp outboards having a tournament, therefore ensuring no one can fish there outside of your dumb little tournament.

I've seen the same lake with a 30-deep kayak tournament. I'm sorry but if you have that many boats, choose a bigger body of water so you don't completely take over and screw every other angler who wants to fish there.

Anyone with me on this or am I in left field here?
Our club (Five Alive Bassmasters) has now grown to be the biggest club on the east coast with just over a 100 members, we never anticipated this many people this year, and with that said, we had our schedule out and made in December, pretty much we had to do our best but we had our opener on Mirror lake in browns mills, not all 100 guys ever show up at once, but with Non boaters we had 68 guy's, we are already going over the schedule for next year, and just like you said, we have become way to big for these electric only lakes, and will adjust accordingly. Besides Manasquan, and Merrill creek we are on all big lakes for the rest of the season, but you can rest assure, you wont see us on those lakes in the near future. Tight lines guys.
